Me rambling on about the books I read and anything else that may come to mind.
Trust Me 2 Forget that there was something else I was supposed to be doing before I got all wrapped up in a book and lost track of time.

Contest and tour BETWEEN HERE AND GONE by Barbara Ferrer

In 1959 Cuba, Natalia
San Martín was nothing short of a princess: sheltered, pampered, and courted by
her very own prince, a childhood friend turned lifelong love. All that changed
on the fateful New Year's Eve when Fidel Castro and his followers seized
control of the country, with tragic consequences for not only the island, but
Natalia herself.

Five years later, in 1960s New York, she’s known as Natalie
Martin―living a life that’s bleak, but thankfully anonymous. However, when the
enigmatic Jack Roemer offers her a job writing the memoir of a starlet on the
brink of self-destruction, she sees not only opportunity, but unexpected echoes
of a fairytale long forgotten.

As she knows all too well, however, the prettiest façade can
hide the ugliest of truths― and peeling back the layers of someone else’s past
forces Natalie to confront her own.

"Ferrer has created a story that’s breathtaking in its
scope, and a heroine whose strength will leave readers in awe."
-Publishers Weekly Starred Review
